Adapting Iomandra: The Isle of the Abbey
One of the obvious 5e sourcebooks that I’ve leaned on for my Iomandra campaign is Ghosts of Saltmarsh, as it provides tons of nautical themed content I can, eh…plunder like a pirate for my campaign. The adventures in particular are pretty easy to convert and use, and I’m adapting them to my version of Iomandra. […]
Expanding Iomandra: Factions
One of the great things about Iomandra is that there are a lot of threads to pull from for a great campaign. One of these is the amount of factions in the world, be it merchants, arcane, or imperial. The Shan Qabal, for example, was one of the main ones in Chris Perkins’s game, as […]
Expanding Iomandra: Knights of Ardyn NPCs
In my last post, I expanded upon the Knights of Ardyn, as they’ll be a major player in my Iomandra campaign. In this post, I want to present a few NPCs who’ll be the main Knights the PCs interact with. They’ve already met two of them, not knowing or even suspecting them to be anything […]

The fan-made campaign document based off of Chris Perkin’s Dungeon Master Experience column in […]
An Iomandra Campaign Backstory
I’ve been running Chris Perkins’s 4e homebrew campaign setting, Iomandra in my 5e home game, and we are really enjoying the newness of it all. My players were not familiar with it, and they’re committed to not looking anything up and just discovering the world as it’s presented to their characters. The low levels take […]
Running Iomandra
Hey everyone, today I’m going to tell you about my new campaign, set in Iomandra, Chris Perkins’ amazing D&D campaign setting. If you’re anything like me, you’re always on the hunt for fresh inspiration, and when I stumbled onto Iomandra’s lore, it hooked me like a sailor to a sea shanty. So, grab your d20s […]
Started a new Star Wars d6 campaign
I recently launched a new campaign I’m pretty excited about, using the venerable Star Wars d6 system, one of my all time favorites. I’m playing face to face, not online, so you won’t find any videos for it, but I did start a campaign website where I’ll be journaling the campaign’s progress. The story’s set […]

Dice, Monsters, and Trips… cool things in my gaming bag
I thought I’d share a few new things that I’ve been carrying in my gaming bag lately for my D&D game. Which by the way, has already reached 13th level and shows no signs of slowing down! Mystery Dice Goblin I got a nice offer from the folks at Mystery Dice Goblin to send me […]
